I have transaction log backups scheduled every 30 minutes between 7 AM and 6 PM. If the 5 PM transaction log backup fails and the full database backup doesn't occur until 9 PM, does this invalidate the entire transaction log sequence? I'm trying to determine how bad a transaction log failure is.

Thanks!

The tr log backup failure shouldn't reset the lsn so the next rtl log backup should include all the transactions.
Probably depends what the error is though.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

This is the core of the error message: [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 3201: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open backup device '\\MyNAS\sql\apps\MyDB_tlog_200412161700.TRN'. Device error or device off-line.

Did you verify if that path and filename are valid? Can it be opened by the database server?
